What can you tell me about permanent cosmetics?
I just had my eyes done and liked it. In fact, I'd like to learn how to do it myself and start my own business. Any comments? Also, what is the difference between ink (colors) that have iron oxide and those that don't. Mine did not. Is one safer than the other?
Also, anybody know how much I should be looking to spend on classes/certification to do permenant cosmetics in the Los Angeles area.
Answer: I actually know about this! I had my work done by probably the best known cosmetic tattoo artist in the country: Kate Ciampi from Perfection Dermagraphics outside of Chicago.
Eyes don't hurt so much - brows don't hurt AT ALL so I don't know where this person says that it is painful. If it is done well with anesthetics it is nothing. Lips hurt more and I know she will not do liner only because it always looks like you forgot the rest of your makeup. She is best known for lips and when she was doing mine, she filmed it because she was teaching a class on it at a convention a few years ago.
She also runs a group that handles all those things and you can probably find someone to teach you from there. It's called SPCP. I think you can easily do a search on them Society of Permanent Cosmetics or something.
